I love to love and spoil your dog

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life. Everything from Huskies to Shih Tzus to mixed breeds. I currently have a VERY energetic Shiba Ainu puppy. She is a rescue from a puppy mill. As soon as we picked her up, she instantly became part of my little family. I adore all types of animals. I was even vegetarian/vegan for a few years. Unfortunately due to health reasons, I had to start eating meat again. I have worked in medicine ever since I was 15. I'm very much a people person and pride myself in my hard work. I love to go outside with my dog, long walks, play sessions and runs. I'm used to having a very active dog but cuddle bugs are perfect too :) I'm able to handle larger differences dogs as I grew up with a husky. I, proudly, have been able to train my dog with not only basic listening skills but even high fives and army crawl.

Information Melissa L. would like to know about your pet

My only concern is aggression, but I am willing to work with you. I prefer larger dogs but I love all dogs. I have a Shiba Inu so I can handle very stubborn dogs :(

A typical day

I used to run everywhere in the city with my dog. It's so relaxing! I love everything to do with dogs. Cuddles, playing, rough housing, relaxing, long walks, runs, you name it.
